Apparently the German word for doing agonizing IT work is PhD.

I want to upvote but.....

@atheist But at 7000 I can upgrade my avatar to have some more exotic stuff :)

@NickyBones whoa that's a sick looking dev kit, I need to get myself one of those.

(Also, updooted, sorry atheist)

I wonder what the "7-way VLIW Vision processor" does apart from looking cool in marketing (nice to see VLIW back in mainstream demand in DSP/coprocessor architectures, the technique is really useful but not for general stuff).

@RememberMe Well the trend is specialized hardware so it makes sense that VLIW gets some love. I guess you are not expected to use the Xavier's binaries on any other machine :)

What's your topic? My interest is always piqued when I see others following the PhD path ☺️

@atheist nice²

@AlmondSauce Long-term localization and mapping for indoor (wheeled) robots

@NickyBones there you go. Others ruined it, but the moment will live on forever

@NickyBones
Here ya go - you may now update your avatar.

@NickyBones yup, exactly. It's a great time for comp. arch., so much cool stuff to do in both general and specialized processors.

German has no Phd. but you can There is the equivalent term "Doktor".

I got the same one for myself!

The setup was pretty weird at first, but they do have good documentation for their stuff and I even managed to recompile the kernel following their steps a while later.

I'm currently using it as a server (booting it from an external ssd with usb adapter). I'll also take a semester on KI stuff, so I kinda know the ecosystem and can actually use all the gpu and deeplearning accelerator stuff!

OooooOoOoOOOO an external vid card

@NickyBones my embedded software heart exploded from reading those specs. Holy fuck, that sounds so goddamn sick. As much as I hate NVIDIA, their AI/ML shit is so fucking cool, they’re the future but the future looks proprietary as all hell.

@OmerFlame why do you hate Nvidia?

@electrineer @RememberMe THERE YA HAVE IT!
